I had a nylon string come untied. The loose end whipped round and made a significant ding, crushing wood fibers. I was heart broken, the guitar (Gibson Chet Atkins Studio) was only 2 days old. It was a nitro finish and I had some great repair folks do the fix. However, it did NOT make the appearance any better. It was still a glaring ding in the top.

If the finish is catalyzed, the repair is even harder or impossible. So listen to the luthier (H. Klepper), just accept that these things will happen.
